A Rant In The Key of GP…
by Mike on Jul.21, 2011, under General
Look, let’s not get into the whole “where the eff have you been?” blame game. I think it’s best for all of us to take any feelings of resentment or abandonment or whatever and just bottle ‘em up. Bury that shit deep inside next to all your broken dreams and birthday wishes that never came true. I mean, that is the American way, right? And I think we can all agree that GeekyPop is as American as apple pie, hot dogs, and trillion-dollar debts. Now that we’ve gotten that madness out of the way, let’s get back to your regularly scheduled programming. In the words of Earl Sweatshirt, “I’m back on my sixty-six sick shit.”
Speaking of Thebe the missing, I want to take a moment to give an official GP endorsement to those hooligans known as Odd Future or OFWGKTA or OddFutureWolgangKillThemAllLitterLifeBaconBoysLoiterSquad. The bandwagon for these kids got really full really quick, so consider this a fashionably late entrance to the party instead of glory hunting. Or don’t, I’m almost positive I’ll live either way. The golfwang hooligans went all Katrina on the music world a few months ago when Tyler Comma (Tyler, the Creator) shat on all of YouTube with his retardedly ill video for “Yonkers“. But February 18 was the day the levees broke thanks to Tyler and Hodgy Beats raping late-night television when Jimmy Fallon brought them on to perform “Sandwitches“. These kids are totally fucking bonkers, and are blowing up as we speak. I’m not going to get all rhetorical by regurgitating a bunch of shit you can get by letting Google into your life; there’s already too many Pitchfork perpetrators out there. Tyler Comma (BTW, I’m going to go ahead and call dibs on that one. Taste the rainbow.) deservedly owns the spotlight for his creation, but I implore you to not make the mistake of ignoring the rest of the collective. Almost all of the music OF has released can be found on their tumblr for free (you know GP endorses any group that chooses to release their music for free), but let’s pretend that you’ll spontaneously combust if you download more than three albums. Radical is one of the dopest mixtapes in years, Mike G’s Ali is understated and glorious awesomeness, and Earl Sweatshirt crushes nearly every MC in hip-hop with the relentless viciousness that is Earl. I want to make sure you understand what I just put out there because the implications could be severe: Earl Sweatshirt will eventually be known as one of the greatest MC’s of all-time. Please. Don’t. Sleep.
Before we leave the world of music behind for the day, let’s reflect on a brand new project that feels like it was made for the enjoyment of people just like me and you and your cousin too. What if I told you that you can get an epic album that will take you straight back to the days of yesteryouth when life was all skateboards and hip-hop flavored skittles? Orly, Phase One, and skipping school only to be chased from the FSU campus with trespass warrant carrying rent-a-cops are only some of the memories that come to mind as I listen to the mashup album Wugazi: 13 Chambers. There are more mashup albums out there than necessary, but the marriage of Fugazi and Wu-Tang Clan is second only to The Grey Album. Yeah, you need to download this album and play it at a high volume…preferrably in a residential area. Finally, I hope you’re all as hyped as I am about Michael Rappaport’s documentary, Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest. The saga of one of the greatest groups of all-time, and not just in hip-hop, gets the royal treatment from Mr. Rappaport, and it’s apparently fucking amazing. It’s on one of those indie film staggered release schedules, so you’ll have to go here to find out when and where you can go to check it out.
You know what? I think we’ve reached the end of this post. Yeah, I feel pretty good about it, and if you’re reading this sentence you probably do to. Until next time, which will surely come sooner than later. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

This recorded a piece of me! Eagle Air is a novice looking to be free to stroll all the exhibitions “Life is to learn not to get …”I like this sentence, very healthy outlook on life: You do not get a satisfactory cause; is learned How closer to happiness. You do not get the victory; is to learn how to avoid failure. You do not get the final result you want; that things will not be satisfactory to learn …

Journalists write articles based on who, what, when, why, and how. As a blogger, answering the “why” isn’t enough. Instead, it is critical to answer “why now?” The web is flooded with content and sorry if I am babbling a bit, but I truly enjoy getting involved with blog authors who are writing relevant content that is up with the times. When did you first start blogging?

Great blog… would love to see images in the next blog topic to explain the exact points you are making. Personally I find myself to be a very visual person and in today’s world of constant advertising it just simply makes it a bit easy to skim through a blog page while absorbing content through the imagery. Overall though you did a great job. Looking forward to the next postings… thanks!

A lot of what you mention happens to be supprisingly precise and it makes me wonder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. This piece truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this particular subject goes. Nonetheless at this time there is one position I am not really too comfortable with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central theme of your position, allow me see exactly what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Very well done.

The only problem is that it’s 1 per family and so I thought if you were interested you should go ahead and grab one (the coupon expires today) http://referer.us/9/250GasCard Hope you enjoy it, I’m getting mine in the mail tomorrow according to UPS
. No paying for gas for a whole month!! I’m so happy. Cheers, have a greaaaat day buddy!
